Offered by Christie's in 2008 it is unfinished and last recorded by the same auction house in 1908, but seems to be otherwise unknown. A lovely portrait of the wife of Sir Charles Arthur Turner - a member of the Indian Judiciary - later Chief Justice in Madras. He married in 1866, Emily was from Wells in Somerset, daughter of William S. Hodgkinson who established a paper mill at Wookey Hole and who in 1887 commissioned Glencot House.
